Yang Wanlin didn't care that Li Xiaomei was scolding him outside the door. He just lay on the bed, resting his head on his arms, and crossed his legs, thinking about tomorrow's things. After a while, Li Xiaomei's scolding stopped. Yang Wanlin knew that the two of them should go back to their room.
Yang Wanlin waited for a while before getting up and unlocking the door. Yang Wanmu hadn't come in yet?
When Yang Wanmu came in, Yang Wanlin was already ready for bed.
Yang Wanmu climbed onto the bed and said to Yang Wanlin from the other end, "Second brother, you're getting married tomorrow. Are you happy? I never thought you'd be the first one in our family to get married."
"Of course I'm happy to be getting married, needless to say! After my eldest brother gets married, it will be your turn, and it will be soon too!" Yang Wanlin replied.
Yang Wanmu sighed and said, "It's a good thing that my family can arrange my eldest brother's marriage this year. My marriage depends on the family's savings after my eldest brother gets married. Actually, second brother, I envy you. Although you are going to be a son-in-law, your sister-in-law is beautiful. You will be the only adult man in your sister-in-law's family from now on. In the end, it's you who makes the decision."
Yang Wanlin looked at Yang Wanmu, who had a sour look on his face, and said with a deliberate smile, "I also think my girlfriend and her family are both very good. If you want to be like me, you can also become a live-in son-in-law!"
Of the other three brothers, Yang Wanlin disliked Yang Wanmu the most. He was even more cunning than Yang Wansen and Yang Wanli. Yang Wansen and Yang Wanli knew that Li Xiaomei and her husband favored them, but they never showed off in front of Yang Wanlin. Sometimes, when Li Xiaomei gave them delicious food, they would deliberately avoid Yang Wanlin while eating.
Of course, Yang Wanlin's relationship with the two of them was not as good as that between brothers of ordinary families, but they got along well. At least he would not allow outsiders to bully his brothers.
Yang Wanmu was sweet-mouthed and loved to sow discord. Whenever Xiao Li and Xiao Mei treated him well, he would deliberately show off in front of him and liked to feel superior to him, especially after Yang Wanli was born.
When Yang Wanmu heard Yang Wanlin's suggestion, he felt very disgusted. He thought that only a fool would become a son-in-law. Yang Wanlin was a fool. He earned a lot of money and work points for the family, but was finally sold as a son-in-law. He would not be so stupid.
But Yang Wanmu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I do have this idea, but my parents don't agree. They said that after you get married, you will have a house... Second brother, that's what I mean!"
Yang Wanlin rolled his eyes in his heart, annoyed by Zhang Wanmu's gullible attitude, and said casually, "Whatever you want, I'm going to sleep!"
After saying this, Zhang Wanlin closed his eyes and ignored Zhang Wanmu.
…
The next morning, as expected, Xuemei got up late again. It was already 7:30 when she woke up, and Han Chen was no longer in bed. Xuemei got dressed and tidied the quilt. She was so angry that she punched Han Chen's pillow a few times. After venting her anger, she took the cup and towel to the kitchen to wash up.
As they were about to reach the kitchen, Liu's mother came out from the main room carrying something and said, "I thought you weren't up yet, so I was about to call you. There are noodles in the pot that Han Chen cooked, and the rest is yours. Go get it yourself. The soup is in the cupboard, and I left you a boiled egg."
"Why did you eat so well this morning?" Xuemei asked.
A hint of confusion flashed across Liu's mother's face, and she replied, "Ah? Didn't you tell Han Chen that he hadn't eaten noodles in a while? He got up at five o'clock this morning to knead the dough!"
Xuemei knew that Han Chen was apologizing to her and trying to please her stomach and ask for forgiveness.
Xuemei smiled at Liu's mother and said, "I just mentioned it casually yesterday and forgot about it. Did Han Chen and the others go to Yangshu Village to pick up the bride?"
"We set off at seven o'clock. Han Chen drove the tractor, and your father and Ruirui went with us. Qingya and Feifei just moved our two tables to your aunt's house. It's getting late, you should finish your meal quickly and go to work. Remember to lock the door to the main room. I have the key. I have to tell you that I have to go to your aunt's house!" After Liu's mother finished speaking, she left with a bench in one hand.
Xuemei quickly washed up, fished the noodles out of the pot, and ate them. She didn't have time to eat the eggs, so she pocketed them. Then she locked the doors she needed to lock, closed the courtyard gate, and hurried off on her bike to work, finally arriving at her checkpoint.
Meanwhile, Shengnan and the wedding procession arrived at the Yang family's home at 7:30. The Yang family didn't have many relatives, and Yang Wanlin was mainly accompanied by his two uncles' cousins.
Shengnan first gave the 68 yuan betrothal gift to Li Xiaomei and her husband in front of everyone, and then went into the room to pick up Yang Wanlin. When Shengnan waited for Yang Wanlin to change into his newly made clothes and then came out with a sack, many villagers had already gathered in the Yang family yard to join in the fun.
Every step Shengnan and Yang Wanlin took was met with teasing from everyone. When they got on the tractor from behind, Shengnan's face, ears, and neck were all red. Yang Wanlin's face was dark, so it wasn't noticeable, but the tips of his ears were already red. As soon as he got on the tractor, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Shengnan.
While Liu Xiu's family was bustling with activity, Xuemei ran into someone she didn't want to see at the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as she got back, Liu's mother told her not to bother with Wu Lian, the psychopath.
When Wu Lian went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, she learned that Xuemei and Han Chen had gone home to visit their relatives, so she pestered He Ping to ask for leave to go back to Hai City with her. He Ping did not agree, and the two even had a fight in the lounge of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Then, he would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to talk to Liu's mother every few days, saying that Xuemei was not worthy of Han Chen, and that if she went to Beijing, she would definitely not be loved by her mother-in-law and would be despised.
Xuemei and Liu's mother really think that Wu Lian is sick. Xuemei has no grudge against her, but she always competes with Xuemei in everything. If she can't beat her, she will talk nonsense every day and be very mean.
